Unable to restore after IOS upgrade

I completed the upgrade for IOS 7. I can see my applications in ITunes, but can not restore to my IPhone. The directions under "APPS" says to "Select Apps to Install..." but I can't drag and syncing does not restore. From the phone if I select restore from ITunes, it shows that it is connected, but does not update. Any ideas on what to do next. Right now I have zero use of my phone! HELP!!!

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

Unable to restore after iOS 7

I have an iPad 2 and updated to iOS 7.03 (big mistake) which eventually prompted me to resort to trying to restore data. For six hours it would constantly reboot with no end (except to my patience) in sight. Any ideas that might actually work?

IPAD Mini Locked after iOS upgrade, tried reset on iPAD did not work, plugged in and device not appearing in iTUNEs for reset/restore

PAD Mini Locked after iOS upgrade, tried reset on iPAD did not work, plugged in and device not appearing in iTUNEs for reset/restore. Just get an Apple Logo then a flashing blue screen as if it is caught booting up. This has happened twice before and iTunes restore fixed it. But this time device not appearing in iTunes.
Running iTunes for PC. But as stated restore has worked before! Any help greatly appreciated!!

Place the device in DFU mode and let iTunes restore the device to factory condition.

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?

I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

3G icon in the status bar got disappear after ios upgrade 8.1

3G icon in the status bar got disappear after ios upgrade 8.1

Thanks for your quick response. I've tried everything you suggested and get only temporary fixes. Sometimes for a day or two, sometimes only until I use Safari for the first time. It's annoying and probably effects battery life between charges.
You would think that it must have some effect on the battery, but oddly enough, the update to iOS 8 actually helped my battery life, in spite of all of these hinky little issues that are taking place. In my experience, the activity icon is not affecting the battery in a negative way.
Another issue with IOS 8.1 that you may have seen is the loss of icon pictures on home pages. Again it seems to be Safari related, since app icons found in the App Store are not affected, only web based icons you personally put on home pages. I get what I call a test screen similar to what you used to get on old tv sets on every one of my personal icons.
I know exactly what you mean. I got that as well. On a few of them, when I opened the websites using the generic test screen icons and then closed them, they changed back to the way that they should look. For the ones that did not change, I recreated the home screen shortcuts and deleted the generic looking ones - the test screen icons.
And don't get me started on iBooks.
For the very limited use that I make of the iBooks app, i haven't noticed any problems, but I rarely use the app. I don't read books on the iPad other than a few user guides and if they are pdf guides, they reside in more reliable and feature rich pdf apps on my iOS device.
I wish that I had the fix for the spinning activity icon, but everything that I try, is temporary at best. IMO, this is the buggiest iOS update that I have seen, and I have been using iOS devices since iOS 3 on my first iPad. I realize that there are plenty of people that are not experiencing issues, but I have seen a number of weird things that I wish I could fix. None of my problems are major, but they are annoying.

No valid license found after IOS upgrade on C3750x switch

HI,
Two switches below are working fine as a stack with IOS c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE5.bin & ipbase license.
Switch#1 (Master, WS-C3750X-24P-S)
Switch#2 (Member, WS-C3750X-24P-S)
After IOS Upgrade to c3750e-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE7.bin, The stack was broken. Switch#2 didn’t recognise valid ipbase license with new IOS and came up with lanbase license instead. Therefore stack cannot be composed due to license mismatch between Switch#1 (ipbase) and switch#2(lanbase).
I’m wondering why Switch#2 didn’t recognise ipbase license with new IOS even though IPASE is running well with previous IOS.
Here is excerpt from “show version” with 15.x image on Switch#2.
License Level: lanbase
License Type: Default. No valid license found.
Next reload license Level: lanbase
Here is excerpt from “show version” with 12.x image on Switch Stack.
License Level: ipbase
License Type: Permanent
Next reload license Level: ipbase
Thanks
Jeong

Thanks guys,
I have fixed the issue by configuring 'license boot level ipbase' on the member switch#2. The switch recognised IPBASE license well and joined the stack successfully.

After ios upgrade to 7.0.4 i got power botton and no sim problem need help help

after ios upgrade to 7.0.4 i got power botton and no sim problem anyone having this problem?

Installing an iOS update does not add a physical button.
As for the "No SIM" message, try removing and reinserting the SIM or replacing the SIM.

My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

I was having the same problem, I backed up my phone and then updated to iOS 5 and then it kept telling me it could not restore from my backup as it had failed. After reading a bunch of forums and posts and trying everything, I did manage to get it to work. I had tried the Time zone, creating a new computer user account, disabling anti-virus, etc.
It took a combination of things, one of which was disabling the anti-virus completely and copying the contents of the backup folder to my desktop and then deleting everything in the backup folder. Then I rebooted the PC, entirely disabled the anti-virus, copied the one backup I wanted to restore from the desktop to the backup folder and then trying to restore. Low and behold the phone said restoring from backup and I am back in business, so when in doubt, trying combining some of the fixes together.

HT201210 iPhone 4s cannot be restored after IOS 7.0.2 upgrade

My iPhone 4s prompted me to upgrade to IOS 7.0.2 today. After I initiated the upgrade the phone went to sleep. When I tried to use it, it displayed the "connect to iTunes" message; once connected to iTunes on my iMac, I got messages that it detected an iPhone that needed to be recovered. I tried several times, trying suggested ideas each time -- I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes on my iMac; I pressed both the sleep and home buttons til the apple appeared and then tried to restore -- but none worked. iTunes seems to have lost the name of my iPhone. First time I tried to restore the device list on the left listed its real name but subsequent tries displayed only "iPhone" and I got messages that it couldn't be restored due to an unknown reason with a code 4013.

I'm having the same problem with my iPhone 4, stuck in a boot loop, and each time I try to restore, I get hit with message 3014 when it starts 'Restoring iPhone Firmware".
I have rebooted several times, updated all software, redownloaded the ios file several times over etc, but still phone unable to restore, stuck in the 'connect to itunes' mode.

Content Copier wont restore after firmware upgrade

I upgraded my N95 8GB to the latest firmware this morning (30.0.018), took 2 complete backups using Contect Copier V4 prior to doing so, but after the upgrade every attempt to restore contacts, settings, etc has failed.
I've tried doing the recommended re-formatting procedure, followed by a restore, which did not help. I've tried restoring individual items only, instead of the whole lot, which also didn't work.
According to the log at the end of the restore, the restore completed successfully. Reality suggests otherwise though.
Could anyone please help?
Thanks,
Adriaan

Right, I've tried using OVI, which did NOT resolve the problem. In fact, it gave identical results to the content copier included with the nseries suite.
I've written to Nokia support who have replied as follows:
"In this instance, allow me to suggest a few workarounds in order to rectify the issue on hand.
First, I suggest that you delete any data not needed from your Nokia N95 8GB to free up the internal memory of your phone before restoring the backed up file. I would like to also suggest that you select the content files that you want to restore to the Nokia N95 8GB. Once you have connected your Nokia N95 8GB to the PC and launched the "Content Copier" application, please select the content file types that you want restored on the phone.
However, if you are still unable to restore the backed up file to your Nokia N95 8GB, there may be inherent issues with your Nokia N95 8GB that may prevent you doing so. In this case, please take your phone to your nearest Nokia Care Point for an assessment. The Nokia Care Point will assess if a repair is required and advise if this may be covered under warranty."
So it looks as if I'm going to have to take it in for repair...

Can't sync iPad after iOS upgrade to7.0.2 - repeated authorisation prompt - using admin profile, file SC info does not exist

Hello,
After I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 I can't sync iPad mini with PC (on Windows XP). I keep getting the folowing message: "The iPad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchase items on this iPad". I tried everything:
1) De-authorizing and rebooting (about 100 times);
2) De-installing and reinstalling itunes;
3) Deactivating the firewall;
4) Run Diagnostics (result - all works fine including sync);
5) Tried to look for the "SC info" directory or file everyone is referring to in the Computer (Hidden files) of the iTunes directory - nothing;
6) Ticking and unticking the |Sync over Wi-Fi" option;
7) Changing backup from iCloud to this Computer and back.
I am using the admin account on my PC - doesn't help.
I cannot sync anything at all.
BTW - on the PC and on the iPad - everything that is there plays OK. I can get stuff from iStore both from iPad and from the PC - but I can't sync the two.
It looks like an iOS 7 bug to me - any ideas or advice?
Thanks.
D.

No I have tried multiple connections, at home, at work, and even at my church but to no avail. For example I have recently purchased a CD from Itunes using my computer, but my ipad will only play it from the cloud. I've tried to download straight from my Ipad and that too does not work. When ever I try to plug the Ipad into the computer a window pops up and says that the sync has failed. If I try to drag the file to the Ipad it will say it's loading than just quit before it transfers. hmmm. I hope they get this bug fixed some. would really like to have that CD to isten to on the go. Another issue I am no having is the apps are having trouble updating. I have tried to turn off auto update and do it manually and that too is failing.

[SOLVED] Unable to boot after last upgrade [HP Smart Array]

Hello guys.
After last upgrade I'm unable to boot. I have fileserver with 2 discs in HP Smart Array RAID 1.
While booting, kernel is unable to find my raid (should be cciss) and therefore lvm2 hook fails to find root partition. While going into recovery, I can chroot without an issue, lsmod shows that cciss driver is properly loaded, disk exits in /dev/cciss/, logical group and volumes are detected properly.
No matter what I do, I just can't get cciss module into kernel. Putting in MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf's MODULES="" didn't help. I'm listing my initramfs images and there is no cciss.ko. I'm also searching for module in my filesystem and can not find it.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you for your quick reply.

Of course, no change.
DSpider wrote:
Second, after editing /etc/mkinitcpio.conf you need to regenerate your initramfs.
# mkinitcpio -p linux
But the MODULES section needs to have something in there...
Here's mine:
MODULES="pata_amd sata_nv ehci-hcd ohci-hcd ext2 ext3 ext4 vfat snd-hda-intel"
You probably need "mdadm" or "mdadm_udev" in there too, I'm not sure... I don't use RAID, but maybe these will help:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mk … Using_RAID
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/So … ID_and_LVM
HP Smart Array is hardware RAID, therefore I don't need mdadm. Right module should be cciss, but this is somehow not working. Adding this into MODULES does not add cciss module to image.
When I'm booting from Arch install for recovery and chroot, cciss is loaded and my HP Smart Array disk is visible.

POE 3560 Issue after IOS upgrade

Hello,
I having issue where 6 WLAN AP's not coming back uo after reboot and IOS upgrade of 3560 POE swtiches - . Prior to changes here most if not all ALL the 23 Aps were mainly on one switch, Now after these changes they are now spread over three switches ( 3560's) - with 17 coming back on line
I am sure its not the power limitation of the switch(s) as the one switch I am TS at present had a fairly large allocation of the aps attached prior to ios upgrade and reload. and the available power value now showing is applicable.for 8 AP's
I have tried various TS steps to try and bring them back up - A couple of things I would like to try but I am restricted to do so is to check the APS physically or downgrade the ios!
Any input on this matter would be truly appreciated.- (attached is the log buffer debug)

c3560-ipbase-mz.122-25.SEE2.bin
You upgraded the IOS to the switch? I shudder at the thought of what old version did you upgrade FROM.
Available:370.0(w) Used:110.4(w) Remaining:259.6(w)
You've got more than enough PoE left.
Only two things comes to my mind:
1. Cable issue - Unfortunately, the 3560 is a non-GigabitEthernet and this particular sub-model does NOT support TDR.
2. Hardware failure - Read THIS.

Unable to restore after Android Update

Hi all,
After updating my Z1 to 4.4.2 I was unable to restore using the built in backup and restore app. The error message states that the selected backup cannot be used due to incompatability of the software!!!!
This should have been obvious to sony....
Also, opening the backup folder in the SD card is of no use since the files were encrypted.
Will any good soul help me restore or at least retrieve my files?
Thank you!

You cannot restore the backup from JB to KK...You should have backed up on google servers,I think from there you could have restored easily.Try this link for the contacts:
